Welcome John. Buffalo River is on my bucket list... Anything else really good down there?

Wait... you got 5 or 6 channels?! Wow. We got two unless one of us went up on the roof & twisted the antenna. Then we could get a third but, of course, we lost the first two until it was twisted back.

A pad would, almost certainly, be the easiest option as well as being the easiest to maintain (just toss it when it gets worn too badly). As for products, application, etc., I agree with the above and think I'd reach out to Swift and get their take on it. Either way, please let us know what...

Well, this trip just got a whole lot tougher. Due to employment uncertainty and the work ethic that appears to disadvantage most of my generation, I delayed getting the train tickets locked in. When I called VIA rail this morning to buy a ticket for August 10th, I found out that all Westbound...

FYI: I talked to VIA rail this morning and there is no space remaining for canoes on the Eastbound train from mid-July until after Labor Day so planning early is critical during the peak season. (They have space for 6 each day but all spaces are already reserved).

I'd say that's accurate. Still, at just $50, grab one up and try it locally before toting it along & depending upon it for sustenance.

One thing that I'm really not sure how to do is keep overlapping the strips as I close the football. I know I've seen people do it but I've never been able to keep it going past the bow & stern. On this build, I did remember to lower the bow & stern forms for stemless building, so I had...

This should do it: https://www.wabakimi.org/uploads/1/2/9/3/129364235/parkrailaccess.pdf Note that these stops (including Armstrong) are "by request" and pick-up needs to be scheduled 48 hours in advance. (note: the days are wrong in this pdf but the mileages are correct. The Westbound...

Outstanding! Nicely done.

Nice archive dredging. I've been considering a barrel but I haven't had that many issues finding trees to hang the bag in and I dislike the look of the blue barrel. Somehow, the white doesn't seem as bad. (I noticed that RBW is offering red & orange now too... red looks nice IMO)

I don't use decks (extra weight IMO and I'm already disadvantaging myself by using heavier woods) but I suppose the purple could find its way into a float tank panel...) I'm ok with it whether it stays purple or not. I'm curious about the effect of the spar varnish on both the purple and the...

It may be a gravity thing. I know it's always a blessing to find that you can still get it up.

I cut the extra from the chine today. I decided to do it before doing much more stripping so that, if I made huge, gaping holes in the side, at least I wasn't completely stripped and ready to sand. I know that one typically uses a plane to remove the excess and I have planes and...

Makes sense... Like walking. Walking in a mall is good but walking outside, on uneven ground, will exercise more muscles and improve core strength as well as balance. I do nothing strength-training-wise except argue with an occasional horse (most are compliant). I probably should though in...
